This is a working page to track all activities and analysis related to hang issues in the Firefox Desktop.

Background

  • Currently there are 2 classes of hangs
    • There are plugin hangs which we catch and receive a plugin and browser side crash report.
    • There are browser hangs which we really have no visibility into.

Plugin Hangs

There are a number of things we are doing to track plugin hangs.

Analysis

Bugs

  • bug 651192 - Implement new AsyncDrawing model for plugins. This involves removing support for windowed plugins since they are the thing causing us hangs. Hangs don't happen with windowless plugins and we'd like everything to be windowless for other reasons as well. We can't really remove windowed plugins until we have an alternative and this bug represents part #1 of that.
    • Status: Talking to Josh, we made some progress on this but not much. Work will probably resume in another month of so.
